As Luck Would Have It

As St Patrick's Day arrived, we anticipated a great weekend with amazing weather, Primrose parties and the annual St Patrick's Day parade in downtown Denver.  Friday morning, March 16, the boys had on their festive green shirts for celebrating at school.  I'm not sure if you can read them but they say "Chillin' with my Peeps" with two chicks on them.  Love them!  Photos at 6:30 in the morning can be a bit of a challenge so we take what we can get.

As it would turn out we were not benefitting from the luck of the irish as a few hours later, Mommy got a call that Oliver was sick at school.  He had caught the flu that had been going around.  He ended up being on the couch for nearly four days.  This was the beginning of a rough week.  Later that week Kellan got it followed by Daddy and Mommy.  Needless to say, our St Patrick's Day was a bit green, and not in the celebratory way.

This is how Oliver spent his weekend.

It didn't change much from Friday to Saturday to Sunday.

It didn't stop the rest of us from packing up the house.  The full story will come later once we close.  Like all Ham Fam events, there is a big story to go with this one as well.  Stay tuned.

By Sunday, Oliver had moved from one couch to the other.

(What is with boys and the natural tendency to put their hands in their pants?)

Here it is, the beginning of a box party.

Sunday afternoon, Oliver had a burst of energy and wanted to help pack some of his room.  He packed a box of toys, which is VERY important!

He had to learn a lesson about how to get everything to fit just right so that we could close the lid tight.

He even packed a box of books and then he declared he was tired again and needed to rest.

Keith and I had a very productive weekend of packing.  Due to this, Oliver had nothing to do but spend a weekend on the couch recovering.  Kellan helped pack, unpack, play, eat, nap, watch a bit of TV, you know, the usual.
